I recently asked a group to describe a bird or animal in less than three words. It's a useful honing exercise to help us work out exactly what it is that makes a species distinct (appearance, behaviour, habitat etc.). It also promotes the many meaning we attach to words.
Can you describe your favourite birds / animals in three words or less? Please share - but don't tell us what the creature is - it should be obvious....

I'll work on this one!
So often I have seen that turqoise flight - perfect description of a kingfisher.
That is tricky one. Secretive duckbilled monotreme? Hello,
Got that one with the second word, Gingatao. One of my favourite creatures - very charismatic, even if they are poisonous.
